The English love cricket! It is a very old game, but it is very popular today.
It takes a long time to play a cricket game. People can play from the morning until
the afternoon. The players often stop for lunch and tea and start playing again. People sometimes play one game for five days!
In cricket, there are two teams. Each team has got 11 players. The teams play on a big pitch. One player throws a ball. A player from the other team hits the ball with his bat. Then he runs very fast. The team with the most “runs” wins the game.
People in other English-speaking countries, for example, Australia, South Africa and New Zealand, play cricket. It is also a very popular sport in India and Pakistan.
